The Gaming Outsider

The Gaming Outsider Podcast is a show dedicated to video gaming of all kinds with a focus on the community. Here at The GO, we don't subscribe to just one platform, and we realize that we don't have the ability to play every game that's out there. Our goal is to discuss ours and our listener's perspectives on current and former games that we have played while keeping a positive environment.

In episode 184 of The Gaming Outsider podcast, the gang discusses a slew of gaming news, titles we've been playing this week and our weekly community topic.

News is slow this week but we had fun discussing a few items that dropped recently. Sea of Thieves developer Rare promises no loot boxes for the upcoming pirate title, but will include microtransactions. Should we praise Rare for this? Fortnite drops a new update adding a lot of new goodies to the game, so Robby gives us the details on that. Also, the System Shock remake Kickstarter campaign goes on hiatus. Are we tired of Kickstarter projects disappointing us?

Games we discuss this week are as follows:

Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)

Fe

Fortnite

Pinball FX3 Jurassic Park Pack

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3DS

Bayonetta for Nintendo Switch

Steamworld Dig 2

Our community topic reaches out to everyone in our Facebook group asking a simple question: have you ever regretted buying a specific console in your life? If so, which one and why? Which bad console still won Josh's heart in the end? What's Scott's biggest gaming regret? Which surprising retro console makes Zach the most nostalgic to the point where the discussion literally had him scouring eBay? Our hosts reveal their answers and also read several responses from our community.

Our community topic this week centers on net neutrality. What's all of this mean and how can it affect gamers? We read our listeners' comments and concerns as well.

This week on The Gaming Outsider podcast, we ran into some pretty nasty recording issues that we didn't catch until editing. The audio tracks were out of sync and strange audio feedback occurs from time to time. Originally, we were going to scrap the episode but since there's a lot of good discussion in here and we didn't want to leave our fans empty handed this week, we decided to work with it the best we could. We hope you enjoy the episode anyway and we apologize for the rough edges this week.

Don't forget to check us out on Patreon as well. Your support will earn you some sweet bonus content and monthly game giveaways, including Monster Hunter World currently up for grabs on our Patreon page.

This week on The Gaming Outsider, we go to our community to discuss the recent news of 50 Cent's desire to make another video game. What would we love to see out of THAT game? Did any of us actually like any of the titles from 50 Cent's gaming endeavors? We have fun exploring the possibilities and give our community's thoughts as well.

In new this week, we discuss Polygon starting a big rumor about Microsoft potentially purchasing EA Games and other major studios. Will we really see Microsoft acquire such a large company such as Valve? We give our thoughts on this controversial rumor that stirred up the industry recently.

Nintendo's latest Zelda title is on its way to becoming the best selling game in the franchise. Also, Nintendo announces the launch date of their new online service plus a few other surprises.
